Adult-Child Interaction and the Origins of Metacognition.
Kontos, Susan
Journal of Educational Research, v77 n1 p43-54 Sep-Oct 1983

Children working with parents showed improvement on several problem-solving measures, but children working alone also improved, solely as a result of practice. (Author/PP)
